Bargains Alerts thread?

I haven't subscribed myself, I wanted to wait a while, and I found that the only games I'd have been interested in are ones I own already. But I think this time around, I should've subscribed because I really would love Wasteland 2, so I've seriously missed out on that.

I guess I'm just really hesitent at paying for a bundle sight unseen, I've no idea if there'd be anything I'd like. I just can't really do a blind buy like that.

dreamers75 · 05-03-2016 6:27pm

I like the mystery of it all :pac:

I guess I can see the appeal of that. The Square Enix mystery box was the only thing I took a gamble on myself, and I was pretty happy with that.

pablomakaveli · 05-03-2016 6:35pm

If I was someone getting into PC gaming i think the monthly bundle would be worth signing up for. My problem is I own so many now i'd probably just be getting mostly games i already own which i imagine is the case for a lot of people. Still its not a bad deal for the price.

dreamers75 · 05-03-2016 6:37pm

The ones I have no interest go into the steamgifts thread.

This months winners are

Shantae & The Pirate's Curse
I Am Bread
Sentinels of the Multiverse
Battlesloths
Switchcars

Links234 · 05-03-2016 8:39pm

I'm actually pretty sad I didn't get Wasteland 2, if they had lead with that instead of Ark, I would've subscribed in a heartbeat. Here's hoping someone who's subbed and doesn't want Wasteland is feeling generous.

If you are new to PC Gaming, then this is a brilliant way of building up your library but if you are on PC Gaming awhile, it's unlikely you will see much benefit from it with the exception of a few games here and there.

Links234 · 05-03-2016 9:55pm

HUGE thanks to the user who just PM'd me a Wasteland 2 key, it's seriously appreciated!

tony1980 · 05-03-2016 10:03pm

Very nice, fair play to them! PC forum is great, this is just another great example of why and the huge give away in the freebies thread at the moment! Enjoy, looking forward to trying Wasteland 2 soon myself but been kept too busy by Xcom and Grim Dawn at the moment :-)

dreamers75 · 25-03-2016 10:06pm

South Park 7.49
This war of mine 18.99

Just unlocked the rest on 1st of april for €11.10, i actually wanted both of those games so happy enough regardless of what else unlocks.

mahoganygas · 30-03-2016 9:39am

I'm on the fence with 2 days to go.

I already own South Park and This war of mine. But I'm still tempted to dip my toe in the water this month...

Korvanica · 30-03-2016 9:42am

Signed up last week. Seems a great deal. Hopefully Ill have time to play the games now !

Links234 · 31-03-2016 11:02pm

This month's Humble Original, Tailwind: Prologue

https://twitter.com/humble/status/714943485246251008

Mr E · 01-04-2016 10:10am

Signed up last night. I already have South Park, but TWOM looks great. Hoping for some nice surprises.

Links234 · 01-04-2016 5:54pm

That itch to subscribe when there's 3 minutes left...

Mr E · 01-04-2016 5:57pm

Did you do it?

Links234 · 01-04-2016 5:59pm

No, and I'm worried I might regret it.

Mr E · 01-04-2016 6:01pm

The extra games are:

Tailwind: Prologue
Nuclear Throne
Renowned Explorers
Nova-111
The Magic Circle
Avalance 2: Super Avalanche
Stikbold

Early unlock for next month is Mad Max (if you pay now).

Jacovs · 01-04-2016 6:02pm

:pac: got beaten to it.

Links234 · 01-04-2016 6:03pm

Kinda relieved now, apart from Renowned Explorers, there's not much of interest for me.

chrislad · 01-04-2016 6:37pm

Nothing for me this month. I think they peaked with the pre announced games. Mad Max well worth it though.

mahoganygas · 01-04-2016 6:39pm

Not bad.
I was going to buy renowned explorers last week.
Delighted about mad Max next month.
Happy to keep the sub going for a second month at least.

Mr E · 01-04-2016 6:42pm

Me too.

Not familiar with some of those games, so will check out trailers and reviews this evening.

Links234 · 01-04-2016 6:56pm

I'm considering subscribing now for Mad Max, it's probably the first pre order unlock that is seriously interesting me. Though Alien Isolation had me tempted. Already had This War of Mine, and wasn't interested in Stick of Truth. I figure it's a good price for Mad Max alone, and anything else that comes with it is just gravy, so even if I gift everything away, it would be worthwhile.

martineatworld · 01-04-2016 7:28pm

Personally, I'm very happy with that.

Been wanting Nuclear Throne for ages but couldn't justify the price.
The Magic Circle got really well reviewed and was on my wishlist.
Nova - 111 I got with PS Plus, so that's a bit meh.
Wanted to try out This War of Mine, but I think I might not enjoy it so happy not to explicitly buy it.
And that Tailwind game looks surprisingly good too!

Links234 · 01-04-2016 7:50pm

Renowned Explorers is currently the daily deal on Steam, for more than the monthly bundle cost

Robert ninja · 01-04-2016 8:02pm

I feel it's all like "Save all this money!" when in fact it's "Spend all this money on games you weren't that interested in anyway!".

The best money saver is to just not buy this amount of games and I really don't like the idea of any subsciption to keys. I save money by buying the few select games that interest me on heavy discounts ^_^ Have bought 2 bundles in the past I think, though - before the 'pay more than the average' tier locking.

Links234 · 05-05-2016 6:58pm

So, this is the Humble Original for this month, doesn't look too shabby at all.

I'm still tempted to Subscribe, but...

It's more that I'm worried I'll miss something I really want than anything else. I bet if I don't, something good is gonna be in the bundle and I'll be kicking myself, like Armello or Soma.

Kiith · 05-05-2016 11:35pm

There's nothing i feel like i've missed so far, and the 50 odd euro that i would have spent subscribed can easily be spent on any game i do miss. So i'm ok without it for now.

Links234 · 06-05-2016 12:29am

I subbed. Girlfriend got sick of me saying should I? Shouldn't I? and said just go for it.

It was less than a tenner with the new subscriber discount, and that's worth it for Mad Max alone probably.

chrislad · 06-05-2016 8:48am

Ah it is. Mad Max is very entertaining. It gets a small bit repetitive, but for a tenner, it's definitely worth it.

dreamers75 · 06-05-2016 6:04pm

Mad Max
Gunmetal Zero
1993 Space Machine
Oddworld Abes oddyssey
Fran Brow
Jumpjet Rex
Galak Z
Crawl
Infinifactory

ElNino · 06-05-2016 6:06pm

Rocket League is next months early reveal

Links234 · 06-05-2016 6:30pm

Hmm, so it's very retro-game heavy. I am very happy about getting Fran Bow and Crawl, some of the other things look interesting, but nothing quite what I was hoping for. I'm kinda wondering which are keepers and which I'll be giving out to folks.

Is crawl local multiplayer only, or online? 'cos I'll be looking to play that with some folks if we can do it online, it looks amazing.

dreamers75 · 06-05-2016 6:32pm

Local only and its in early access.

Links234 · 06-05-2016 6:38pm

Ah, pity. Still, it was a game that was on my radar and looked really interesting, but don't have an abundance of controllers here so I'll probably get away with 2 players.

Also, I was slightly kicking myself because Rocket League was the early unlock for next month's bundle, and I already had it purchased on Steam just the other week, buuuuut... I've been cheeky and put through a refund request as I think most of my playtime was while it was free and before I purcahsed it so I can probably get away with a refund, and keep the subscription for the bundle to get it next month. Fingers crossed.

Edit: Aaaand, refund approved.

pawrick · 06-05-2016 7:16pm

Nothing I fancy in next months bundle and little if interest for me in the current one. Will stick them up on the steam gifts group later and might end my subscription for now to the monthly bundle

Omikron1 · 07-05-2016 4:15pm

I got it just for Rocket League, everything else will be a bonus. I said I'd have to see what all the fuss was about....that game is cray cray!

ShadowHearth · 07-05-2016 8:27pm

I am kind of disappointed. This is my first go at it and I went purely for mad max and expected at least one more good game. I haven't even heard about other 5 before. Previous months had way better games. I guess I still got mad max for tenner.
Next month already looks really meh for me. I have zero interest in it. If it's going to be same as this month's games revealed, then I am completely screwed.

Links234 · 07-05-2016 11:19pm

So yeah, refund went through, have €12 back in my steam wallet now, and just payed early for the June bundle, have Rocket League again yay!

mahoganygas · 11-05-2016 2:54pm

I tried Infinifactory last night.

It was surprisingly fun!

Links234 · 03-06-2016 6:11pm

June Monthly Bundle

Rocket League
The Forest
Planetary Annihilation Titans
Keep talking and Nobody Explodes
Dungeon of the Endless
Steredenn
Wasted
Cat Girl Without Salad

Next month's early unlock is Hurtworld.

dreamers75 · 03-06-2016 6:25pm

Meh.......to the steamgifts thread..................

Mr E · 03-06-2016 6:44pm

I haven't really heard of any of them. I'll try them, but that's two disappointing months in a row.

Links234 · 03-06-2016 7:09pm

Yeah, I have to say I'm bitterly disappointed. While it was worth the price for Rocket League, and the 10% discount on the Humble store is pretty great, there's barely anything in the bundle I can say I'm interested in if I'm being honest, apart from Dungeon of the Endless. I've not any interested in survival crafting games, but I might give The Forest a go maybe, or probably just gift it to someone who might appreciate it more. The rest is just... eh?

Wasted might be good, dunno.

Hyzepher · 03-06-2016 7:45pm

Titans is a very good game

ShadowHearth · 04-06-2016 8:12pm

I like this week's bundle.

Titans - was paying on getting that for ages
Forest - was on my list too.

The rest I need to check on. I know for sure I have no interest in rocket league.

I understand. Some people just don't like fun.

johnny_ultimate · 07-06-2016 3:15pm

I'd encourage anyone who got the game to give Keep Talking... a whirl. The best party game I've played since Johann Sebastian Joust. Brilliantly designed and involving, plus incredibly challenging at times. Have seen it hook people who would usually not play games at all - think the physical presence of a manual helps in that respect. So yeah: deep enough for the enthusiast, accessible enough for the newcomer

I'd recommend having at least three people (one defusing, two or more on the manual) and have a pen and paper handy for some of the trickier panels... Oh, and don't spoil it by learning the manual before you start playing. Working things out on the fly is part of the glorious chaos!

You will learn to ****ing hate a certain goddamn Venn diagram though :pac:
